Best first round game I've ever seen, best game I've seen in years. They set the bar high for the rest of the playoffs.

The only reason not to is because its game 1 of a first round series.

I said yes but, there was some major coaching mistakes that cost the suns that game.
To be specific why didn't D'antoni foul in regulation when they were up 3 with 20 seconds left and spurs had possesion. It just doesn't make sense. If they had fouled they would have gotten possesion of the ball back after the spurs made their foul shots. An offensive team should alway try to have the ball in their hands in the final seconds. Who do the suns think they are the spurs they shouldn't have relied on getting a stop especially against the spurs who have deadly 3pt shooters.
The same situation occured in the final seconds of the 1st overtime and if the suns had fouled instead of trying to defend the 3 they could have one the game there.

I actually wished that was game 7 of the series instead.
I couldn't imagine another game perhaps this playoffs that would be as good.

Yes, there is no doubt in my mind that we have just witnessed the best game one opening round of all time.

I wouldn't really call it a classic playoff game. I mean the outcome of the game was never really in doubt...

Agreed. And to think, there are up to 6 games left in this series.

I caught only the last minute and two overtimes.
And that was absurd.
